If there is one thing Virginia knows how to do, it’s celebrate the vine. And this February, one of the most anticipated events on the wine calendar is reaching a major milestone.



On Saturday, February 21, 2026, the 10th Annual Fauquier County Wine Showcase returns to the historic and breathtaking Airlie Main House in Warrenton. Whether you are a seasoned oenophile or just looking for a cozy winter escape, this event is the ultimate way to experience the heart of Virginia’s wine country.

A Decade of Virginia Excellence

For ten years, the Fauquier County Department of Economic Development and Airlie have partnered to put the local viticulture scene on center stage. This isn't just a tasting; it’s a sensory journey through the unique terroir of Fauquier County.

This year’s showcase features 13 premier local wineries, offering everything from crisp, aromatic whites to the bold, structured reds that have put Northern Virginia on the global map.

What to Expect on Your Visit

When you step into the elegant halls of Airlie’s Main House, you aren’t just getting a glass of wine—you’re getting a full VIP experience. Here is what your ticket includes:

• Guided Tastings: Sample award-winning wines and chat directly with the winemakers and staff to learn the "why" behind every vintage.
• Gourmet Pairings: Enjoy complimentary hors d’oeuvres and artisan bites specifically designed by Airlie’s renowned chef to complement the regional flavors.
• The "Fill Your Tote" Challenge: Every guest receives a commemorative wine glass and a 6-bottle wine tote. If you find enough favorites to fill your bag, you’ll even win a special prize!
• Indoor Comfort: No need to worry about the February chill—this is an indoor event held rain or shine.

Make a Weekend of It

Why rush home when you can linger? Airlie is offering special event rates for those who want to turn the showcase into a true weekend getaway. Spend the night at the estate, explore the boutique shops and historic charm of Old Town Warrenton, and wake up to the rolling hills of the Piedmont.
